Unable to create database (Oracle 12c R1 12.1.0.1.0, Windows 2012 )

I have been trying out the new 12c on Windows 2012 Essentials with the same type of errors.  The OraDim step fails and cannot create the services.  It fails a bit differently if I choose "Create New Windows User", choose a "Use Existing Windows User", or choose the Windows Built-in user.  It's insanely frustrating.  We are looking at 12c for a new development project, but apparently it's not quite ready for Windows.  I am really thankful for vmware snapshots.
Has anyone found a work around for installing a 12c database on Windows 2012?

Also, when I try to install just the software, and use the database assistant to setup the system, the oradim command fails "A new member could not be added to a local group because the member has the wrong account type."
I also found this, which shows that 2012 is not supported, yet
https://blogs.oracle.com/UPGRADE/entry/oracle_database_12c_is_available
Even though page 44 of e17735 (Oracle® Installation Database Guide 12c Release 1 (12.1) for Microsoft Windows E17735-07) states that 2012 is supported:

  • Unable to Load Database/Unable to create database.

    RoboHelp 6.0 on my PC is suddenly unable to open existing
    projects or create new ones. The problem is not in the projects, as
    other people can unzip the same set of files and open them with
    RoboHelp on their PCs.
    The Details:
    When attempting to open an existing project (any project
    whether in version control or not), I get the message " Open
    project was cancelled or the application was unable to load
    database for..."
    I found the article that says to delete the CPD and XPJ files
    and then to use the Edit option to open the HHP file so that
    RoboHelp will recreate the two files. When I try that, I get the
    message "Unable to create database. Check that the directory is not
    read-only." It's
    not read-only.
    When I attempt to create a new project, the application acts
    like it is going to create one, but it just creates a project
    folder without the new first topic and then repeats the New Project
    Wizard window that prompts for title, etc. It will keep creating
    folders and returning to this window in a loop without ever really
    creating a project.
    RoboSource Control is functioning normally, by the way.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled RH 6 several times, and
    have even uninstalled RH 6 and installed to RH 5 just to see if it
    could open projects, which it does with no problems. After that
    test, I uninstalled RH 5 and reinstalled RH 6, only to encounter
    the same problem all over again.
    This started happening after I uninstalled other unrelated
    software and received a message that some Service Pack 2 files had
    been changed and prompting me to insert the Service Pack 2 CD,
    which I don't have. This is because our IT department pre-builds
    our systems from an image and then distributes job-specific
    applications over the network. IT tried repairing Service Pack 2,
    but that didn't work. I'd like to uninstall and reinstall Service
    Pack 2, but the IT person says it's too risky on a system that was
    built from an image.
    We would like to find out
    which files RoboHelp is looking for when it launches a
    project so we can replace those files manually. Does anyone
    know what they are or have another suggestion that might fix the
    problem?
    Otherwise, I am stuck having to allow IT to rebuild my
    system. That means reinstalling and reconfiguring everything on it,
    just as if I were upgrading to a new PC. This can take a whole work
    week. However, I have already spent close to a work week on this
    problem, so maybe rebuilding would save time in the long
    run.

    Problem Resolution = HHA.dll
    For anyone who might be interested in the resolution to this
    issue, we did rebuild my PC and reinstall all of my software. The
    RoboHelp installation "complained" that I did not have HTML Help
    Workshop on my system and told me to download version 1.4 from
    Microsoft. I did have HTML Help Workshop..it's in my programs list.
    (It's not listed in programs on my co-workers' PCs, and they were
    not having problems, by the way.) But to make RH happy, I
    uninstalled the workshop and tried to install the version from
    Microsoft. But a message informed me that I already had a newer
    version of the workshop on my system, and I was back where I
    started. I could open projects, but there were weird problems.
    Selecting Topic Properties was met with an error message, and when
    the properties window opened, I could only see whatever template
    was assigned (or none if the topic had lost its template), and
    there was an extra section for Oracle help.
    So I started dinking around in the registry to see if I could
    get rid of any traces of the workshop so I could install the
    version RH wanted or to find any other clues to my problem. Under
    HTMLHelpAuthor, there was a reference to an HHA.dll file located in
    C:\WINDOWS\system32...only the file did not exist on my system.
    (Remember that my original problem was that some Service Pack 2
    files were either modified or missing.) So I did a Google search on
    that file name and found out that HTML Help Workshop is included in
    newer Windows operating systems, but that people used to have to
    get HTML Help Workshop from Microsoft, and that some people had
    made the mistake of just putting the HHA.dll file into the
    C:WINDOWS\system32 folder without also installing HTML Help
    Workshop. At this point it was obvious that I needed the HHA.dll,
    so I got it from a co-worker's PC. (Looking at the registry
    entries, I can also see that my system was built with a slightly
    different version of the operating system than my co-workers have.)
    Adding the HHA file to my system solved the problem. All
    projects but one were fine; one was still exhibiting the strange
    behavior. I fixed it by going back to the RoboHelp 5 version of the
    project and re-converting it to RoboHelp 6.
    I suspect that if I had known about the HHA.dll file before
    we rebuilt the PC, I could have solved the problem without going
    through that painful process. That is why I thought I should post
    the solution even though it was after the rebuild.

  • Unable to create database error

    Hello all-
    I've been working on a project in Robohelp7/HTML for about a
    week. I come in today and try to open my project and receive the
    error "Unable to create database. Check that the directory is not
    read-only.". I've done the obvious of checking the folders and
    files within and they are not marked read only. When I create a new
    project, I receive the same error. I'm stuck at a standstill and
    can't figure out why Robohelp has decided to deny me access to my
    project or the ability to create new ones. I went so far as to
    uninstall and reinstall, to no avail.
    Has anyone encountered this? Any help would be greatly
    appreciated.
    Thanks

    There is a topic on Opening RoboHelp Projects on my site. Rh allows you to browse to either an XPJ or HHP file but that is only as good as the last time you generated an output.
    When you open with an HHP you get an option to use the XPJ or not, in which case one is created. Either way there should be an XPJ. Not sure how you have lost it.
    Backup?

  • Unable to Create database index

    Hello All,
    I have a table where I'm trying to define indexes.
    I make the additional entry for indexes via SE11.
    Call transaction SE11.
    Enter the table ..
    Choose "Change".
    Choose "Indexes ...".
    Choose the "Create Index" icon and enter the table name and the index name.
    However when I goto SE14 to create in the database,  ->
    Choose "Edit".
    Choose "Indexes ...".
    Select the index.
    Choose continue.
    -> Select 'Background' as the processing type.
      > Choose "Create database index".
    Here, I'm unable to te database index just because it is grayed out.
    I tried with user DDIC also.
    Can any one help with the reason that I am unable to create it.
    Thanks a lot in advance.
    Regards,
    Pradeep

    Hello Pradeep,
    Steps to create an Index
    1. Goto SE11
    2. Enter table name and F6(Change)
    3. Select "Indexes" from the Application Tool bar
    4. Select "Create Index" Option
    5. Select one option
            "Non-Unique index"
    or
            "Unique Index"
    In case of a Non-Unique Index, you can use the radio buttons to define whether the index should be created for all database systems, for selected database systems or not at all in the database.
    Check the proper Type of the Index in SE11 again. This should solve your problem.

    Good morning Siegwin,
    First, you should probably post to this forum: [Database - General|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=61]
    However, the error you are getting is a TNS error. You should check the following information in your TNSNAMES.ORA on your system and on the Database Server.
    <li>Name of the database
    <li>Port Number of the database as defined in the TNSNAMES - compare against the port number that the database is actually listening on
    <li>The SID defined in the TNSNAMES file.
    On the Database Server:
    <li>Check that there is a listener running and that it is listening for your database.
    Don.

    I had the same problem before. Apparently, it happened to me
    because I was insisting on creating a db using shared server
    processes (MTS). The following quote says it all:
    ==========================================================
    Restricted Operations of the Multi-Threaded Server
    Certain administrative activities cannot be performed while
    connected to a dispatcher process, including shutting down or
    starting an instance and
    media recovery. An error message is issued if you attempt to
    perform these activities while connected to a dispatcher process.
    These activities are typically performed when connected with
    administrator privileges. When you want to connect with
    administrator privileges in a
    system configured with multi-threaded servers, you must state in
    your connect string that you want to use a dedicated server
    process
    (SRVR=DEDICATED) instead of a dispatcher process.
    =======================================================
    So, the answer is create a db using dedicated server processes,
    and then perhaps later on change them to shared server processes.

  • Can't Create database Oracle XE on windows2003 !

    Dear all,
    After i installed Oracle XE 10g on windows2003 i will create database but i cound not see dbca .Can anybody suggest me ?
    Thanks for advance
    Chara

    By default Oracle XE edition will create database by SID as XE and i think Xpress edition will allow you to have only one database.
    Some more limitations are there with Oracle XE.
    Plz refer to Oracle Documentions installed along with that.

  • Cloudscape - JSP - Unable to create database CloudscapeDB

  • How to install Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 Rac Database on Grid Infrastructure 12.1.0.2.0 (Windows 2012 R2)

    Hi all.
    This is the scenario:
    I have a 2 node cluster Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 x86_64, the nodes are part of domain.
    Installed Oracle 12cR1 (12.1.0.2.0) as follows:
    Installation done using domain administrator named "installoracle" that has been EXPLICIT promoted to local administrator in both nodes.
    One domain user named "oracle12c" with no administrator privileges neither in the domain or nodes.
    Installation, after a lot of customization in the OS of the nodes, has gone ok, perfect indeed, not even a warning during runinstaller execution.
    All services and resources are up & running, I have rebooted nodes and all comes back ok in place. In windows services I can see some services started with "oracle12c" user, and all windows groups: DBA, SYSKM, etc, has been created.
    Now I have to install Oracle RAC database in 11gR2 version (11.2.0.4.0) to accomplish with application requirements.
    So, I execute runInstaller (setup.exe) logged as administrator via domain administrator "installoracle" (the one that was able to do the smooth 12c GI installation) and the gui comes with out problems, but at 4th screen the one in which you have to choose what kind of installation you want to do (Single, RAC or RoN) I select RAC option, the gui returns error: crs is not running in the local node...
    Finally, in order to deliver some database 11.2.0.4.0 for my customer, I try to do installation of SW for Single Node, I did using "installoracle". The sw has been installed in one of the nodes. Then I have created a database and I have stored datafiles in ASM (this ASM is part of 12c clusterware) and also register the 11gR2 single instance database in the Grid Infrastructure listener
    So, whats next??? Why is this behavior??? I did similar installations in Linux/Solaris with no issue (well as everyone can imagine, always there are some issues, but when solved you got GI in 12c and databases in the release that you want 12c, 11g, 10g...)
    Any clue?
    Thanks in advance!!
    Best Regards!!

    To go back to old version (without changing compatible parameter), you can perform downgrade.
    Instructions are available at
    How to Downgrade from Database 11.2 to Previous Release (Includes 11.2.0.4 - 11.2.0.1) (Doc ID 883335.1)
    In this case you will having all the data file including the new one.
    But remember database may not be in the same status as before (Before upgrade). it may have invalid objects of higher version after downgrade. 
    Downgrade is applicable only to successfully upgraded databases. In case upgrade faced some issue, do not try downgrade there.
    Your second approach it not correct. Note that each datafile header will have db version. We can not open database in normal mode when header version and binary versions are different.

    Does anyone have any ideas what else I can check. I'm a Unix person, not a Windows person, which is making it even more complicated. If I was on Unix, I'd just blow everything away and start again from scratch, but since I'm not sure how to remove all traces from the registry, etc., I don't want to try that on this machine. There was already one other database created, but it's not goign to be used.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    regards,
    Tarisa.

    hi,
    thanks for the info. the problem, as it turns out, was that I was connected to the db server via a terminal service (Microsoft Management Console), which for some reason caused probelms with TNS. After I connected directly to the machine using VNC, I was able to create the database with no problems. strange but true.
    regards,
    Tarisa.

  • Unable to create Database for new planning Application

    Hi all,
    I have Created a New planning application on Planning 11.1.1.3 using workspace.
    When i'm trying to create a database through administration -> Manage Database , im getting error saying
    com.hyperion.planning.planning.HspCubeRefreshInProgressException: Cannot complete your request because the database is being refreshed.
    I tried Unlocking the application, using HspUnlockApp.cmd and it is returning a error, and im also unable find the HSP_LOCK Table
    Please let me know ur suggestions
    Thanks in Advance
    Edited by: Rao on Aug 8, 2010 8:57 PM

    Hi,
    There is definitely a table called HSP_LOCK in the planning applications repository, are you sure you are looking in the correct place.
    Anyway there is also a utility (HspUnlockApp) in the \planning\bin directory that should unlock the app and will save you having to mess around with any tables, more details :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/ch04s02.html
